X heads are good heads...as stated above once ported on the exhaust side they are wicked...but really so is every head...the downfall is the price...they are pricey...I made 297/314 RWHP/RWTQ with those heads and a GT-40 intake...FTI cam...on a stock bottome end 302...I also busted a head gasket...

UPDATE So the other day I did a compression test on cyl #3 and it was 60 psi...the others were around 150 psi...However, the pressure stayed in the cylinder...at 60 psi until I took the gauge off...SO what would cause such a loss in psi? It can't be a bent valve...because the pressure stayed...

you don't need to blend the bowls and a valve job to run bigger valves...

Building it right...? what other way is there to build it...you make it sound like such a complicated process...IT'S NOT! you match up your combo to a particular RPM range...its quite simple... SO now...we're slow finding out that you have your bowls blended and have a valve job...ANYTHING...

what you've described makes a lot of sense...BUT with all that done...how can you say the heads are stock like he's claiming...:shrug: ...? THEY ARE NOT...There is a reason why factory stock racers spend thousands of dollars on a valve job...etc...BTW: the suppossedly "stock" cams are also far...

HEY...I heard you gave Bob an STD through the AIM...This could explain why mine don't work...I tried to down load it again...NO success...I guess I should check my computer...FYI: I just swapped out the 6.100 pushrod to 6.200...deleted all the smog and AC...The car pulls like a MOFO now...might...

if you don't want to spend arm and a leg on springs...Ford Racing makes a set that have a higher spring pressure...135# on the seat unlike the ones from AFR that are 120...the Ford Racing springs can support .600 and they are like $70 form Summit...I have them on my 165's...no probs yet...I also...

Yet you got another one from Ed after all that "talk" :rolleyes: I for one couldn't be happier with my cams...along with the rest of the FTI customers... :D Maybe it was that intake...Mike? YOU know how I feel about them.

DO IT!...if you have your TW's ported...the stage I is not enough!...with a custom cam...you be at, at least .550 lift (not that it matters really)...a custom cam will work to optimize your combo...

I'm running stud mount rockers...The heads have been milled to 54cc...The cam is the same cam that Dave (5spdGT) is running...so you can ask him how he likes it... :D to get a second opinion...Yeah...you're right about the timing...its set at 18*...haven't really had an opertunity to "tune"...

LOL...there's nothing special to your combo...don't flatter yourself! I've seen many "stock" motors...infact...I almost built one but the power to money spent ratio was just not worth the try...AGAIN...there is NO WAY your car makes more power than a stock 93 Cobra...not with the mods you...

Hey buddy calm down...I have the same combo as the guys you mentioned...infact I think I have the same combo as you! BUT my lower Cobra is ported and my 165's have been milled...I'll be going to a dyno soon so I will know how much it really makes...My guess...I'll make around...

LOL...50RWHP...you do realize that there are people that range from 295-340RWHP with that combo right? I'm reffering to street driven...stock bottome end...nothing ported FTI combo...which will be between 295-315RWHP...at the most! There's no way I am making that much...but who knows...maybe I...

according to him...the shortblock is stock...along with everything else... :rolleyes: Yet he is about 30RWHP shy of what an AFR/FTI combo makes...I guess I should have kept my stock heads!

Yeah...I know several of people like yourself that have "stock" cars with an E-cam and 1.7 rr :rolleyes: ...Again...please tell me how you got your 272RWHP...with those parts...I seriously must be doing something wrong along with 95% of other people on here...

LOL...you're too much...nothing in "Factory Stock" is stock...People have thousand $$$ valve jobs...more aggressive ramp rates on their so called "stock cams"...etc etc...For him to say he runs stock parts with those times is an insult to those that know their stuff...I guess he is doing...

105-107MPH still = 12's with traction...proper gearing maybe so...but than again we have people like ED C to set combo's for us...I guess he doesn't know s*it either... OR maybe you're just that great of a driver...? :rolleyes: WHICH I don't doubt...but even with a great driver compared...

OK...you are missing the point here...109MPH and running low 13's...what exactly does that tell you? what is the car capable of? PLEASE TELL US! lol...a bunch...huh? like H/C/I? :rolleyes: well...I guess I'm doing something wrong here...AND I guess people like ED C are too...Hell...

Yeah...its only one of those what if concerns...BUT even ceremic coating doesn't last forever...If you think about it though...Ford Racing parts are overpriced big time...so if what they claim is true...(stainless steal AND ceremic coated) than its a really good deal on them...BUT the whole...
